In this Ted Talk, Amishi Jha discusses “how we pay attention.” Paying attention is the process by which our brain decides what we determine is important from the constant stream of information it receives. Stress (an external distraction) and mind wandering (an internal distraction) diminish our attention’s power, but some simple techniques can boost it. Amishi Jha states, “Pay attention to your attention.”
